OK Silva.. I`m really loking forward their matches in­ the future.. really :-)

Ops... I shall say, may the best win!!!

@ Igor K, Cool, mate! No insulting anymore, but please­ be more realistic and respectful towards Fed. He has­ proved himself more than enough to deserve the respect­ of real tennis supporters. Keep it cool and long live­ the king: Roger Federer!

@ gione.silva fine by me, just stop insulting with such­ words!
I would also like to see them in the semmies..­ ofcourse Fed is a big favorit on grass.. but it would­ be a great match to see :-)

I would love to see Djokoshit play Fed in the semis...­ Just to prove his devoted fans that Djoko is not even­ near to Fed on grass. The only threat to Fed this year­ is Murray or Tsonga. Everybody else, Fed will just walk­ over! Again, there is no luck in tennis! This is not­ gambling! The best always win!!!

I Admit I wrote that sentence first time, when Federer­ really looked like completely lost case (last year)..­ now he is back on track.. and I must pay a tribute to­ him being really taught mentally to take advantage­ after all drops he suffered in last year or more !
..­ but I can not lose the filling that some guys really­ learned how to play him, how to disrupt his attacking­ tennis.. Others from top four found his weak spots.. if­ he is not leading the game, not having indicative, have­ to deal with few deep balls near the baseline during­ rally – then he seems to me still like worst from top­ four in defensive situations…sorry ! And it happened­ many times in last year and a half, not only against­ Nadal, Muray, Djokovic. They will be serious barrier­ for him on any GS he is playing, no matter tri setter­ is a different animal ;-)
Even other three guys were­ kicked relative early on RG (if exclude Murray who­ achieved really good result on Clay), after all I think­ he would have really serious problems if he met any of­ them (much more serious then with Hass or Del Potro) ..­ so he was still lucky to me, or fortunate, whatever...­
..that was the main reason I was pointing about Lucky­ RG... If I hurt someone’s fillings (I surely did), I’m­ sorry !
Novak was also lucky few times in Halle, but­ he finally didn’t take advantage in third set with­ Hass, because he didn’t fight hard enough !
On Grass­ Federer is clear favourite if Nadal didn’t recover­ fully.. but Murray really advanced in everything, will­ see.. And if Novak is to meat Fed, we will see a real­ fight, not like this embarrassment in Halle, I’m sure !

Igor,i think it is a little harsh to say Fed was­ "lucky" to win the French,sure it may have­ been fortunate that Murray Nadal and Djoko were knocked­ out,but in reality none of them were good enough to get­ the opportunity to play Federer,in short,the four best­ players reached the semis,then the two best advanced to­ the final,and ultimately ,the best player won the­ tournament.Federer in my opinion,truly deserved the­ title after his incredible fightback against Haas,his­ performance against Monfils and the epic with­ Delpo,none of that can be construed as luck.
On the­ subject of Djoko,i believe that changing his racket­ after his most succesfull spell in his carreer was­ misguided,it was a crazy thing to do.Also i agree ,it­ might be the right time for him to find a quality­ coach,he def needs to change something.

Why do so many of you so called tennis fans hate Novak­ Djokovic so much he is such a nice young man.Come on­ Novak you can do it good luck at wimbledon.

Mr. Igor K thinks he knows a lot about tennis... Poor­ kid, knows nothing!!! Since he started his hate against­ Fed, he has only proved to be wrong again and again.­ And guess what: Fed is gonna win again! How can he say­ Novak and Murray are better than Roger? Are you crazy­ man? Novak is a nobody in tennis! One slam wonder.­ Murray still has a lot to prove. 'Besides Nadal,­ Murray and Novak...' What a whole lot of c r a p!!!­ The only time Novak beat Roger in a slam, was when­ Roger was ill. Murray hasn't done yet. If you say­ Nadal is the man, ok, I respect... but, Nadal is not­ gonna have a long carer like Roger and will never reach­ 12 slams. I could bet on that right now! Keep dreaming­ dear Djokoshit fans... Sorry for you lot...

@nick, u might see things from a different­ perspective.After all, NADAL won the French Open four­ times! 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 ... AND he won Australian­ Open this year!

@ wasdwasdedsfedsf - 5 match point saved are not only­ luck, but says for it self that player has enormous­ skills to cope with the situation when most needed..­ Novak and of course Federer and some other players has­ those qualities – Lucky I said for Federer because all­ REAL opponents dropped from his part of draw on RG (of­ course I’m thinking on Nadal, Novak and Murray), not­ because he saved one match point against Hass.. surely­ you got to have amount of luck for that, but then you­ have to take control.. and great players then grab it­ in their favour like Federe did. Well done !
…That what­ you are quoting now I have written long before Federer­ took Roland Garos.. but I can claim the same again:­ "Besides Nadal, Novak and Murray he is no­ favourite on ANY GS anymore, and he can win another GS­ only with huge amount of luck" .. but of course if­ those guys are fit and in form.. if not, he will just­ walk over !
Why Am I keep pointing this ? because this­ is REAL and COMPLETE opposing finally – he didn’t have­ such opposition until last two years.. only blind don’t­ want to see it and approves Fed`s lover results with­ other excuses.. if you want to keep one eye closed to­ this "best ever player", then my claims are­ @#$% to you of course !
He can not pass in a row both­ Murray, or Novak, and then Nadal.. no freaking way man­ ! They became experts for beating him ;-)
And why is­ Federer then favourite for me on­ Wimbledon`09:
- because he will play more relaxed after­ finally winning RG
- Nadal seems having knees problems­ still
- Novak, I must say sucks on grass big-time (if­ exclude Queens last year) - he doesn’t move properly­ and no shoes can fix this “skating”. Still I believe­ this will be his best Wimbledon so far !
So yes­ finally, Federer is the main favourite for me.. only if­ he survives Murray scare ;-)

Well done Haas, you deserve it. Roll on Wimbledon,­ anyone wanna put some outside bets on Murray winning,­ it doesnt seem that stupid to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO­ MURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey igor you didnt see my reply.

"I think it is­ enough said about­ Federer.. If you remember our­ discussions well, you­ surely remember that I said:­ "besides Nadal, Novak­ and Murray, and other top­ players, he can win another­ GS with only enormous­ amount of luck"
Oh so thats why hes a pretty damn­ big favourtie for wimbledon, and a favourite for US­ open? The one that is the most likely to win is the­ least needing of luck, so please explain your thoughts­ on that sentance.

"novak_djokovic - ooh I should­ have known you are­ here with your fake accounts.. when­ I saw three­ negative in 2 minutes ;-) "
yep. The­ fact that your post was retardbad as always played no­ part.

"please read comment number­ 2.. I think­ you agree :-)"
You are not a legend for saving 5­ match points in a match by any degree, please prove to­ me how that works. Please prove to me how it works AT­ ALL that saving matchpoints is any kind of a sign of a­ good thing or that the player is good.

Congratulations to Haas, he played brilliantly­ yesterday and I hope he will continue in such a way.­ Novak was not too bad, worming up is finished, see them­ all at Wimbledon.

#ndizvozvo4life:
you are so brave­ person who comes here only to insult Serbian. But, if­ you are so courageous, how you comment that from the­ previous held tennis tournaments only Blake as American­ reched final and that after more than 30 years Murray­ as Britain won in London, poor you.

Federer doesn't have to beat the top players to­ still be considered the greatest5. His best year was­ 2006. In 2007 he got three slams but his level had­ still slightly dropped from his peak. Nadal being­ younger kept improving after this time. For a player of­ 27 to continually beat rising younger stars isn't­ going to happen unless you've got a massive booming­ serve(Sampras) The only true record of greatness is­ trophies. Federer has 14 slams, that speaks for itself­ and is a fact that cannot compare to an opinion

@ carlos480bc thanks for you kind words.. sorry but I­ can not be on Federer`s side, especially I couldn’t` on­ this RG.. I have opinion of my own about him.. but it­ is a other story.. sorry for hurting someone’s fillings­ ! I respect his game when he is destroying opponents -­ I can not be against wins he disserved in that fashion,­ and I admire his elegance pretty much. But this RG was­ different story and still he was very lucky to me...On­ the other side, match with Monfils, then Finals - I can­ say only BRAVO for the way he played, very determent..­
.. for Wimbledon, I think he is favourite number one,­ he will definitely play more relaxed; Murray is second­ favourite because Nadal has injury problems (really­ hope he will be ready fully). Del Potro advanced­ phenomenal on clay…But if it comes to Federer : Murray­ match, it will be really tough for Federer..
Novak must­ change something.. on grass he just can not accommodate­ properly.. he brought his clay performance on even­ higher level, but grass is something different … will­ see.. hope he will change his team as soon and priper­ to shine on hard court again !

I wouldn't write off anyone from the top 4. But you­ see what happened at last grandlslam. Murray and­ Djokovic hailed as rising stars fell off rather early,­ Nadal shockingly too and the cake was there for­ Federer. Everything can happen. I can say that Murray­ has something to say after winning at Queens. I wonder­ if Federer is going to be that relaxed as he promised -­ he got his last slam but he knows he must get some wins­ over the top guys too.

No.12 Nadal lost two tournaments (getting to the final­ in one of them and after three consecutive wins) and­ you are already writing him off? Djokovic is clearly on­ a slump, but he is a good player let's hope he­ wakes up soon.

Nadal is feeling the heat as number 1 ...and his knees­ are a real problem for him. His career will be short. I­ think he's already peaked and is on the way down.­ Djoko still does not have the game for grass and lacks­ mental toughness. So it's either Federer, now with­ nothing to prove to the world or a newly confident­ Murray who will win Wimbledon. I put Fed there by a­ small margin over the Scot as he is a better and more­ experienced 5 set, 7 match winner. Should be­ interesting this year...
